University Advisory Sheet En
ters Fourth Year of Service
To High School Students.
Every student in his senior
year in high school is faced by
the many problems of his im
pending college career.' What
institution shall he attend?
What are the entrance require
ments ? - What expenses can he
expect? These and many other
similar questions somewhat mar
the pleasure which he experien
ces at the thought of leaving the
public or preparatory schools.
This University has attempted
J ; n 'i j.
u relieve mis situation oy is
suing . to prospective, collegians
a little paper, Tar Heel Topics.
Tar Heel Topics will enter its
fourth year with its November
number. It is sent every month
except September and October
to 10,000 students and parents
of students who are in their last
year of preparatory school AH
such institutions in North Car
olina are covered and, too, some
selected ones out of state. The
t paper has won the commenda
tion of numerous superintend
ents, many of whom use its con
tents as a basis for chapel talks.
No other university regularly
issues a like advisory sheet.
While it is, naturally, primarily
a University of North Carolina
feature, there is no insistence
that the student come to this
university; Chapel Hill data are
merely given as the standard of
comparison. ' -
The ten numbers of each year
really constitute a series of one
sided "chats" which familiarize
the prospect with college condi
tions. The fall numbers deal
with the history of the Univer
sity, famous alumni and the
like, with perhaps a word on the
value of a degree. The winter
numbers get down to facts; they
survey the various divisions of
the school. One issue takes up
the College of Liberal Arts and
outlines its three types' of cour
ses. Another discusses the pro
fession of law, while still others
tell of the library, debating,
music, and campus activities.
Toward spring a considerable
amount of space is devoted to
athletics. Then, usually in June,
the less pleasing but unavoid
able problem of finance claims
practically the entire leaflet. The
paper quotes the approximate
figures and gives many practical
tips. ' '
Edward, Scheidt, the editor of
Tar Heel Topics, has made the
sheet attractive by the inclusion
of frequent pictures and the
careful avoidance of a preachy
tone. He has done much to
clear away the difficulties facing
the high school senior.
METZ RESIGNS AT
LUTHERAN CHURCH
Rev. George A. Metz at the
conclusion of the Sunday ser
vices announced his resignation
as nastor' of the University
Lutheran Student Association.
Mr. Metz is resigning this posi
tion which he has held for over
a year, in order to devote all of
time to the study of law. His re
signation takes effect Novem
ber first. The members of the
association are extremely re
gretful that their student pastor
finds himself unable to spare the
time which the work requires.
Services will be continued with
out interruption pending the
completion of new arrange
ments, as 'Mr. Metz has offered
to serve until that time.
CHEERIOS PLAN TO
TUT ON SHOW FOR
HOMECOMING GAME
Billy Arthur, chief cheerlead
er, is expecting the student body
to cooperate with" him in his
plans for a Cheerio section at
the homecoming game with
Georgia Tech Saturday. He has
arranged fcr students who ex
pect to come to. the game alone
(that is, without a girl) to se
cure seats in a special section of
the stadium, directly on the
fifty-yard line. In order to get
these tickets, a student must at
tend practice twice .this week.
Since Grantland Rice iso
film the game for his "Sport
light" it is especially desirable
that a good show be put on for
him and the homecoming alumni.
The first practice will be held
at Emerson field, three o'clock
this afternoon.
Speak-Greet-Meet
Week Starts Today
Due to a conflict in the ar-
rangement oi the chapel pro
grams, the freshman friendship
council did not start its program
for the Speak-Greet-Meet Week
yesterday. The week's program,
however, will start today with
a larger variety of speakers and
a greater spirit of co-operation
from the different departments
of the school.
Jack Ward, president of the
inter-fraternity council, says,
"The plan is good and the
friendship council can depend
upon the fraternities of this uni
versity to co-operate with them
in every phase of the week's
program."
Last night an announcement
of the program was made by
Hamilton Hobgood to the stu
dents in Swain hall.
Pat Patterson and Ed Hamer
will speak "to the freshmen at
chapel on the subjects of old
traditions.
Several years ago a similar
program was held at the Uni
versity and the dynamic Kay
Kyser aroused the interest of
the students, but the interest in
speaking on the campus has
fallen off and as a final resort; to
revive the. old tradition the
freshman friendship council asks
the co-operation of each student
on the campus of the University
of North Carolina.

CHAPEL HILL, N. C
J
HNSTON GIVES
VOCATION TALE
Freshmen Hear of Economic
Values To Be Gained From
A College Education.
The two greatest purposes of
the university were presented by
Henry Johnston of the bureau of
Vocational Information to the
freshmen at chapel hour yester
day. He stated that college main
ly prepares the student, first for
the solving of problems that pre
sent themselves after gradua
tion and, second, by increasing
his capacity to enjoy life more
fully. . .
He further brought out the
traits an employer usually de
sires of an applicant. These
traits are primarily cultivated
during the college days by the
activities one enters into. To
take advantage of all college
privileges, the freshman should
try to realize his varied talents
and cultivate these from the be
ginning. Character above all can be
established. A consideration of
this and also cf dependability, a
good physique, personality, di
plomacy, elocution, and careful
ness is always paramount in
either the acceptance of . rejec
tion of the employment applicant
after graduation.
Student Federation Is Sponsor
Of Lecture Tour Through State
-o-
The meeting of the students
of. nine Western Carolina . col
leges in Greensboro Friday night
brought to a close Student -Government
Week. John A. Lang,
president of the North Carolina
Student Federation, seemed
greatly pleased with the results
accomplished by the week set a
side for the improvement of
student government and stu
dent relations in the state.
Lang and E. R. Murrow, of
the National Student Federa
tion, made a tour of the state,
visiting colleges which are mem
bers of the state federation
group, and led the campaign for j
better student government and
intercollegiate relations.
A large number of students
throughout the entire state took
part'in the discussion of student
problems and issues and a great
er number heard the problems
discussed. .Lang believes that
faculty members and students
have been brought more closely
together and made to feel that
they must work in harmony with
each other.
Besides the effort in the di
recting toward improvement of
student government and student
relations, a complete survey of
student governmental machin
ery has been made in practically
every college of the state.

RULE REGARDING
QUIZ ABSENCES
TO BE ENFORCED
Because of some misunder
standing concerning absences
from quizzes, the Registrar's of
fice wishes to explain the man
ner in which they must be ob
tained. Unexcused absences, es
pecially among the freshmen,
have been numerous since the
opening of school, and the
Registrar's office feels that an
explanation of the rules govern
ing the granting of absences
from quizzes is necessary.
In order for a student to be
eligible for a make-up quiz, his
excuse of absences must be ap
proved by the Registrar, or by I
the dean of his school, before he
absents himself from the quiz.
Some laxity has been allowed in
the approval of excuses given
after the date of absence of the
apparent ignorance of this re
gulation, but from now on the
rule will be rigidly enforced.
